In the context of Numbers, the Israelites were organized into a structured camp with each tribe having a specific role and position. This organization reflects the order and discipline necessary for a large group of people traveling through the wilderness. The divisions were not only for military purposes but also for maintaining order during their journey. This structure can be seen as a precursor to the later organization of Israel under kings like David and Solomon.<p><b>numbers 59,300</b><br>The specific number of 59,300 refers to the men of military age from the tribe of Naphtali. This census was taken to prepare the Israelites for their journey and potential conflicts in the Promised Land. The large number indicates the strength and size of the tribe, which was significant for their role in the community. The census in Numbers is a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars (<a href="/genesis/15-5.htm">Genesis 15:5</a>). This also foreshadows the growth and expansion of Israel as a nation. The precision of the number underscores the importance of each individual in God's plan, reflecting the biblical theme that God knows and values each person.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_naphtali.htm">Tribe of Naphtali</a></b><br>This verse refers to the tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/census_of_israel.htm">Census of Israel</a></b><br>The context of this verse is the census taken by Moses and Aaron as instructed by God, to organize the Israelites for their journey and encampment around the Tabernacle.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_of_sinai.htm">Wilderness of Sinai</a></b><br>The setting for this event is the wilderness of Sinai, where the Israelites camped after their exodus from Egypt and received the Law from God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_order_and_organization.htm">God's Order and Organization</a></b><br>The census and arrangement of the tribes around the Tabernacle highlight God's desire for order and structure in the community of believers.
